Let \( \triangle ABC \) be an acute triangle with orthocenter \( H \), and let \( M \) be the midpoint of \( BC \). Let \( P \) be the foot of the perpendicular from \( H \) to \( AM \). Prove that \( AM \cdot MP = BM^2 \).
In a football tournament with $n\geq 2$ teams each two played a match. For a won match the victor gets 2 points and for a draw each one gets 1 point. In the final results there weren’t two teams with equal amount of points. It turned out that because of a mistake each match that was written in the results as won was actually a draw and each one that was written as draw was actually won. In the new ranking there were also no two teams with the same amount of points. Find all n for which it is possible for the two rankings to be opposite of each other, that is the first team in the first ranking is actually the last one, the second team is pre-last and so on.
There are eight seats at a round table. Six adults $A_1, \ldots, A_6$ and two children sit around the table. The two children are not allowed to six next to each other. All the seating configurations where the children are not seated next to each other are equally likely. What is the probability that the adults $A_1$ and $A_2$ end up sitting next to each other?\[ \mathrm a. ~4/15\qquad \mathrm b. ~2/7 \qquad \mathrm c. ~2/9 \qquad\mathrm d. ~1/3\qquad\mathrm e. ~1/5\qquad\]

For a complex number $ z\equal{}x\plus{}iy$ we denote by $ P(z)$ the corresponding point $ (x,y)$ in the plane. Suppose $ z_1,z_2,z_3,z_4,z_5,\alpha$ are nonzero complex numbers such that: $ (i)$ $ P(z_1),...,P(z_5)$ are vertices of a complex pentagon $ Q$ containing the origin $ O$ in its interior, and $ (ii)$ $ P(\alpha z_1),...,P(\alpha z_5)$ are all inside $ Q$. If $ \alpha\equal{}p\plus{}iq$ $ (p,q \in \mathbb{R})$, prove that $ p^2\plus{}q^2 \le 1$ and $ p\plus{}q \tan \frac{\pi}{5} \le 1$.

Straight rod of 2 meter length is cut into $N$ sticks. The length of each piece is an integer number of centimeters. For which smallest $N$ can one guarantee that it is possible to form the contour of some rectangle, while using all sticks and not breaking them further? (Author: A. Magazinov)
find all functions from the nonegative integers into themselves, such that: $2f(m^2+n^2)=f^2(m)+f^2(n)$ and for $m\geq n$ $f(m^2)\geq f(n^2)$.
